Album Description"Seldom do I hear singing and music so suffused with gentle beauty and calmness as I did on Compassion. Tibetan vocalist Dechen Shak-Dagsay's songs and mantras, impeccably accompanied by flute, piano, Tibetan bowls, tambura, and subtle synthesizer textures, wrap around you like a soft blanket, comforting and imbuing you with a sense of inner peace and serenity. These songs are a spiritual oasis for our troubled souls in these perilous times, and only the most hardened of hearts will remain unaffected by this recording." -- Bill Binkelman, New Age Reporter "Compassion by Dechen Shak-Dagsay is absolutely beautiful ... my patients loved it and actually commented on how relaxing it was. I thought it was very soothing and melodic." -- Gina Johnson, Licensed Massage Therapist "The hauntingly beautiful melodies are mellow enough to play in the background during a meditation, yet emotionally charged enough to bring tears to the listener's eyes. I will definitely be listening to this one again, be it during my yoga practice or just while I'm relaxing at home! This is truly a moving musical experience, and a worthy offering to the Mother Goddess." -- Deirdre S. Hopton, Yoga Instructor The voice of Tibet!
